Scores at the end of the clash were 96-94 for Akhmedov and 95-95 twice.

Both fighters fought intelligently throughout changing up punch angles and footwork pacing to set up their aggressive shots. The Abel Sanchez trained Akhmedov appeared to take control in the final rounds but the game Espadas, guided by trainer Manny Robles, successfully countered to escape the aggressive Kazak’s tactics.

Witnessing a junior middleweight classic, fans were on their feet throughout the fight.

Los Angeles based light heavyweight powerhouse Umar Dzambekov, (11-0, 8 KOs), looked brilliant as the southpaw stopped Sonny McEwen, (11-2, 7 KOs), of Hawthorne, CA in the opening stanza. Although the valiant McEwen rose from an early knockdown, the scheduled eight rounder was stopped at the 2:17 mark of the round from a barrage of unanswered punches.

(6-3-1, 4 KOs). Scores were 59-55 from two judge’s and 60-54 for the Freddie Roach trained Benito. Both fighters came to fight from the opening bell as the spirited action entertained the crowd. Although the stronger Gutierrez would have his moments, Benito was able to consistently control the action for the duration of the fight.
